The Cogito Argument

The Cogito Argument, formulated by philosopher René Descartes, is a foundational idea stating, "I think, therefore I am." It suggests that the very act of doubt or thinking proves one's existence. If someone is questioning or aware, that awareness confirms a thinking self exists, since nothing could be thinking without a thinker. This reasoning establishes the self as a certain, indubitable foundation for knowledge, serving as proof that our consciousness and mind are real, even if everything else might be uncertain.
